Numbered Outline

[Guest]

I'm using Office 2003 Student and Teacher Edition. I'm trying to format a
procedure and I have headings 9.1 through 9.17, and these headings have
subheadings with 1 to 3 levels, for example, 9.1; 9.1.2; 9.1.2.3. I'm using
instructions downloaded from an article entitled "How to create numbered
headings or outlinhe numbering in your MS Word document". The user suggests
that in the Customize Outline Number List dialog box, I define the numbering
I want for all my numbering levels without leaving the dialog box. I haven't
been able to make this work for me, because I don't know how to manipulate
the program to get it to accept 9.1 through 9.17 which is one level. Does
the program automatically format 9.1 ad infinitum until I go back and start
another renumbering for the second level which would be 9.1.2. I know, I
know 9.1.2 looks like level 3, but it's actually my second level. The
procedure begins with 9. Procedure and goes 9.1 through 9.17 for the first
level of information, with subheadings from 1 to 3 under them. I would
appreciate any help you can supply. Thank you.--Chatelaine

Assuming that "9" is a fixed number, do this: For your level one, type
"9." in the "Number Format" box and then add the first-level number by
choosing it in the "Number style" box. For level two, type "9."; then
add the numbering for level one from the "Previous level number" box,
and choose the number style for level two in the "Number style" box.
Proceed in a similar manner for level three.
